Bristol City legend Brian Tinnion has been promoted to Technical Director of the club and will oversee player recruitment as part of his new role.
Tinnion will combine his new position with continuing his fine work in leading City's superb academy and helping forge a pathway from the youth team to Nigel Pearson's first-team plans.
Speaking of his promotion, the 54-year-old told the club: "This is a chance for all parts of the club to ensure that our recruitment at every level achieves what we all want, which is a successful Bristol City first team. We have highly dedicated and skilled staff with first-class facilities and I’m grateful to be able to work with them for a club I am passionate about.”
